She was learned in all the lore
OF science, and her store
Oh attachments d bewildering and grand;
She could tell you what to eat;
From cereals to meat,
And analyze all eatables oi-hand.
She loved a learned man
On the scientific plan,
And the couple formed a partnership for
life.
She cooks the family fare
In a way that makes him swear,
And very often leads to vulgar strife.
The meat is burned and tough,
The pastry is vile stuff,
The Vegetables are always underdone;
But in baking wretched bread
That is heavier than lead
This scientific woman takes the bun.

THE KAIMILOA.

To say that vessel is tub, or even
an old tub, does not imply that she is a
rotten tub. The old oaken bucket
that hangs in the well may have served
several generations with crystal waters
and still be capable Of similar service
for posterity. Yet the bucket would
prove a slim resource as protection
from fire for even the denizens Of a
square no bigger than Fowlers Yard.

1t was most extravagant in comparison
with what old and sound vessels have

with what a new vessel made to the or

upon the seller of the craft. The Gov
eminent had every opportunity OF
ascertaining the qualities Of the vessel,
and welfare not aware that any decep-
ton was practised upon them. The
vessel was brought here when a craze
was upon the mind of the Government
to possess a navy. A more favorable
opportunity Of getting rid Of anything
that doated, and generated smoke and
steam to make it look in any manner
appalling to the enemies Of Hawaiian
empire in the Pacific, could not have
occurred than that moment when the
Explorer was signalled from Diamond
Head fifteen miles south. There
could have been but one result in the
present mode Of ruling Hawaii. The
vessel was eagerly snapped up, paid fol

over to the Foreign Office Within {

A PERMANENT EXHIBITION

The suggestion Of our correspondent
a." in this issue, is in the line OF arti-
cles in recent numbers Of the HERALD,
advocating the establishment Of per
manent industrial museum in Homo
lulu. The two sets Of ideas, his and
ours, taken together are practicable OF
being put into effect if only vigorously
taken up by others. We have pointed
out some of the benefits Of an indus
trial museum. Our correspondent sug-
gests not only permanent show, but
one that would also possess the merit
of a flower and fruit market. The
museum would be great help to local
industries, while the show and mart
would be not only that but would fill a
much felt want There are many pri-
vate gardens in the city and suburbs,
producing surplus Of luscious fruits
and wholesome vegetables and decora-
tive flowers, above the wants or require
ments Of their owners. Without q
common market where that surplus
can be exposed, the articles are fed to
domestic animals and birds, while peo-
pie who do not grow them would
gladly buy them il there was any place
where they we're on sale. Under such
state of things the city bears the re-
proach of being without fresh fruits,
flowers and vegetables, to gladden.

ton the supplying OF the general de-
mand for such products, more OF neces-
sites than mere luxuries in this climate
Even people who can afford to keep
large gardens are not likely to be able
to raise everything that they would de-
sire, and a common mart would be
only carrying out the principle of diyi-
sion of labor governing all the worlds
work. Our correspondents suggestion
OF central place for such an institu-
ton is wise, and it would be well to
consider whether booth could not be
erected on one side of Emma Square

amount of trouble permanent exhibits
and holders OF exhibits could be quick
ly put out of the way at evening or or
a holiday, and the structure be used as
gallery or grand stand for band con
certs. Or perhaps more ambitious
structure could be placed in the Gov
eminent lot in front of the Police Sta
ton, convenient and central site, moi
large enough for public square but
sufficiently SO for both a museum and
fruit and flower exchange. These
remarks are, however, only meant as
contributions to further suggestions
that ought to be forthcoming. The
HERALD will endeavor not to lose sigh
of the main question, and to directors
on the score of impracticability ha:
only to say that where there is viii
there is a way.

also the largest returns in case they live;

There was not a very large attend
ance at the Opera House last night to
witness the first presentation Of
"Loe and Law" by the Milton
Mobiles Company. This play, like
APRON Sire to Son." has emaiated
from the pen of Milton Mobiles and al
though built up on the old foundation,
is not without merit. Some of the
situations are interesting, and as
Rita, Mrs. Mobiles in the second act,
appears to much more advantage than
in any character she has yet assumed
here. Mr.. Mobiles, as the veritable
Irish lawyer, acquitted himself fairly
well, but with the exception of
rConte," the remainder Of the sup
port was scarcely up to par. AS a
hole, this production will probably
prove more interesting to theatre
goers than "From Sire to Son." and
better houses may be expected. 1t
will be given for the last time to-
night.

INCENUIARY FIRE.
The stables at the agricultural
Park Lit in Two Places.

Park Lit i'm Two Places
Last night, about ten O'Clock, one
of the worst cases of incendiarism
heard of here was perpetrated at Ag-
ricultural Park. The day had been
rather interesting on account of the
races which took place, and nearly all
the attaches had been relieved or
were about to retire for the night,
when one of them discovered that fire
had been set to one of the sections OF
the stables. The hands we're called
out and this was extinguished. nut
hardly had this been accomplished
when it was discovered that fire had
also been started in Section
ID of the stables, almost opposite the
house. This had gained such a head
way that it was with difficulty that the
blooded stock which was quartered
therein was gotten out and even then
two valuable colts were caught in the
flames and destroyed. The men
worked hard and brought all the water
to bear that was possible, and sue
ceeded in saving section f, but in the
meantime many of the valuable ami
mails which were in the adjoining
stables were taken out and, at
last accounts were loose in the |
grounds. The fire had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
do more than confine it to Section d,
and even that was hard fight. This |
section was occupied by the stock be-
longing to the lsssees of the park,
Samuels & Co, ami VIM. Smith. One |
Of the colts burned was valued at $500 |
and was the property of Chas. Durfee.
The other was yearling belonging to
5amuels & Co. The losses are about |
$1,000 on the building. 5000 on the
furniture, etc.. and the lessees had
$500 worth OF hay stored therein.
There was no insurance. The en-
Dloyes deserve great deal OF credit
or the way in which they fought the
lanes. No clue has as yet been OBJ
aimed to the incendiary, but the Cir
surrounding the inception
If the fire are such as to leave no
loubt that it was incendiary.
